Bollywood Pays Final Respects to Zarine Khan
The Mumbai film fraternity came together on Monday to honour the memory of Zarine Khan, wife of veteran actor-producer Sanjay Khan, who passed away on November 7 due to cardiac arrest at the age of 81. The prayer meet saw emotional gatherings of family members and prominent Bollywood personalities paying their respects to the late interior designer.
Family United in Grief
Zarine Khan's entire family was present at the solemn gathering, dressed in white as a mark of respect. Her husband Sanjay Khan arrived alongside their son Zayed Khan, who had performed the last rites during her funeral on November 7. The couple's daughters - Simone Arora, Farah Ali Khan, and Sussanne Khan - were also seen arriving at the venue.
In a touching moment, the entire Khan family greeted the waiting paparazzi with folded hands, maintaining dignity during their time of grief. Sussanne Khan's sons with ex-husband Hrithik Roshan - Hridaan and Hrehaan - were also present, showing family solidarity across generations.
Bollywood Stars Show Support
The prayer meet saw significant attendance from Bollywood celebrities coming to support the grieving family. Hrithik Roshan made an appearance with his girlfriend Saba Azad, while other notable attendees included Rani Mukerji, Mahima Chaudhry, Salim Khan, Arpita Khan Sharma, Zareen Khan and Rajat Bedi.
This follows the earlier funeral ceremony that had seen several film industry personalities including Rajat Bedi, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Esha Deol, Zoya Akhtar, Bobby Deol, Jackie Shroff, Madhur Bhandarkar, and Jasmin Bhasin paying their final respects.
Remembering Zarine Khan's Legacy
Zarine Khan was much more than just a Bollywood wife and mother. She was a renowned interior designer, model, and author of Family Secrets: The Khan Family Cookbook. Known for her grace and warmth in personal and professional circles, she had briefly pursued acting in her early years.
Her film appearances included notable movies like Tere Ghar Ke Saamne (1963) and Ek Phool Do Mali (1969). After marrying Sanjay Khan in 1966, she gracefully stepped away from films to establish a successful career as an interior designer, creating her own identity beyond the film industry.
Zarine Khan is survived by her husband Sanjay Khan and their four children - Sussanne Khan, Zayed Khan, Simone Arora, and Farah Ali Khan. The prayer meet served as a fitting tribute to a woman who touched many lives through her multifaceted career and warm personality.
